Key West is the southernmost city in the contiguous U.S. and a popular tourist destination in Florida. Known for its abundance of sea wildlife, Key West is a fantastic place for you to book a boat tour and enjoy the Gulf of Mexico's coral reefs. Tours also offer unique opportunities like dolphin watching, snorkeling, and much more. For the best beach around, head toward the Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park, where you can sunbathe and fish with ease. The Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory is a magical spot to learn more about different butterfly variations.
Seafood is still the staple of Key West's cuisine, but the distinct Caribbean and Cuban touch will set the city's food scene apart from others. For the best authentic Cuban specialties, try El Siboney. If you enjoy classic Floridan dishes, Blue Heaven will not disappoint you.
Although Key West is an island city on the Florida Keys archipelago, the Overseas Highway connects to the mainland. This means you can easily catch a bus directly to Key West. Domestic and international flights go through the centrally-located Key West International Airport.

Jacksonville, or simply "Jax," is the largest city by area in the continental United States. Located in the northeastern corner of Florida, this sunny city along the St Johns River also boasts 22 miles of beaches along the Atlantic Ocean, coastal cuisine, and many historic neighborhoods to explore.
Natural beauty is king in Jacksonville, and where better to soak in some of the Sunshine State's outdoor wonders than the beach? Try Little Talbot Island for beachcombing or fishing, Big Talbot Island for exploring wetlands and marshes, and Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park for surfing. If you don't have the patience for birdwatching in the wild, the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens will let you get up-close and personal with over 2,400 animals.
To take a break from the sun's rays, head indoors to one of Jacksonville's many eclectic museums. The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens combines European-inspired gardens with an impressive collection of fine art, while the Museum of Science and History is worth a stop for its planetarium alone. On Saturdays, you wouldn’t want to miss the Riverside Arts Market where artisans and farmers set up stalls along the river, and you can catch live music, food trucks and even free yoga.
